Gorelal was a famous sculptor. His sculptures looked real
ones. One day he saw a dream that after fifteen days, the demon of Death would
come to take him. Gorelal prepared nine statues of himself and when on the 15th
day he heard the Demon of Death coming, he took his place between the statues.
The Demon could not recognise him and was astonished to see ten Gorelals
instead of one. He rushed back to the God of death and told the matter. The God
of death got annoyed and set out to take Gorelal himself. Gorelal was alert and
stood motionless. The God of Death initially got perplexed. But he thought for
a moment. He said, “Gorelal, these sculptures would have been perfect but for
one mistake." Gorelal was unable to suffer the least blemish in his work.
He came out and asked, "Where is the fault?" God of Death caught him
and said, “HERE". The statues were faultless but Gorelal was caught
because of his pride.
